A STBC-OFDM based full diversity linear receiver

A wireless communication multiple input-single output (MISO) system with multiple transmitting and a single receiving antenna characterized with flat-fading is considered. A full diversity of such a MISO system is obtained by exploiting the Space-Time block codes (STBC).High rate and elimination of intereference can be achieved by using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. This Paper Focus on the bit error performance analysis of the STBC that incorporates OFDM for a square quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) constellation using receiver such as Zero Forcing (ZF) and ZF-DFE receiver. For such a system, the receiver able to extract full diversity by making use of the under lying coherent STBC.
